I.e. I am wholeheartedly _against_. Here are the reasons: 1) visit http://octave.sourceforge.net/functions_by_package.php and _patiently_ scroll down; 2) if you are patient enough, you'll notice that the text left margin moves to the right, i.e. at the top the text is left-justified as it should be, bu then the text moves to the right; 3) when I was taught by various people how to develop and test the code, I was explained that number of test cases is typically (quite) big, but at least _obvious_ corner cases should be tested, and the number of obvious corner cases is typically _much_ less than the full number of test cases; 4) in this particular instance there are just _two_ corner cases: top and bottom, and the developers didn't bother to check even them. So, because of _gross_ disrespect for very basic QA guidelines on the side of the developers I am fully opposed to nominating this project for "project of the month". Regards, Sergei. P.S.
